Gisela Kronenberg writes from Cincinnati: “Starting October 15 I shall be free, white and twenty one and a research assistant at the Illinois Neuropsychiatric Institute….. I received the good news of my appointment yesterday, the same day on which I filed my petition for citizenship. I shall live at the Institute belongs. As soon as I am settled, I shall start negotiations with the University of Chicago regarding my admission as graduate student to work for my M.A.
Suzanne Cragin McCord writes from De Riddler, Louisiana: “Right now I am an army wife… My husband and I were stationed at Fort Sam Houston for the best part of the past year. I am now in Louisiana where my husband has been on maneuvers. Next week we head for the California Desert for the last maneuvers. By the first of the year I will be just another wife waiting for her husband to return.”
Sergeant John Stix writes from South Carolina en route to Tennessee. At present I am in a signal truck, a radio truck with four doors and no windows. Through the intercom the driver informs us that we are passing through Columbia, but it is two in the morning and coolish and we are en route to Tennessee for maneuvers….. After the Battalion has been exterminated by a couple of Armored divisions and we’ve all had a share of picking fox holes in Tennessee rock, it is very likely that we return to Fort Jackson..”

REPORT ON THE COMMUNITY WORK PROGRAM
(October 4 through October 9)
Twenty additional bushels of Irish potatoes were added to the October harvest by replowing the potato field. Two bushels of tomatoes- some of them green- were picked in anticipation of frost. Six bushels of green beans were harvested; four bushels were put in for later use. Fifteen loads of surface rocks were picked up out of the field nearest the Studies Building. Work was begun in cutting and splitting logs at the buzz saw ready for firewood cutting.
Clark Foreman’s study, Number 146, was fitted up with new shelves, and the ceiling was printed. Mrs. Rice was moved into her new office, Number 129, the old lumber room, which had been cleared and finished. The beds in the guest rooms were painted, as were also the floors of the adjoining bath rooms. The Dining Hall serving tables were repaired and repainted.
Work was begun on the coal pit at the entrance of the Studies Building. All the coal and all the former wooden walls were removed. The earth that had fallen in was taken out by the Hough Leader. A logging crew spend several half days on the Mountain cutting logs suitable for lining the coal bin cavity log-cabin- style as a remaining wall to last until the war is over and re-inforcing steel for a proper concrete wall for this new wing can be procured.
Plans and specifications for the new Service Building have been drawn up, and a special priority request for the purchase of the needed material is being prepared. The plans show a one-story building on the original foundation and sub-floor which are unstable. Two bathrooms, six bedrooms and a living room with a central hall are indicated- as in the original building. Specified is a wooden framework to be finished with non-critical and fire resistive panels. The work of removing the burned and useless portions of the original building is no small task- it has just been started.
